Giusto - Newport

The restaurant can get quite loud and cramped, especially in the middle, which can be frustrating when you’re surrounded by staff chatting and laughing. Sometimes the bar is too noisy, but as they quiet down, you’re left with the chatter from the staff. I'm not sure which is worse. There’s only one private area, and it’s reserved for larger parties, which isn’t ideal. I do recommend coming here because the food is hard to find elsewhere, but just adjust your expectations for the atmosphere—it doesn't quite match the quality of the cuisine. Summer might be the best time to visit, when there’s more outdoor seating available.

Giusto offers a truly memorable experience. The service is outstanding. The menu primarily features a tasting menu and tapas. We sampled all the starters, and by the time we finished, I was too full for an entree, but we all shared bites of each other's dishes. My favorites were the oysters, the seasonal Caesar salad made with Brussels sprouts, and the Scotch meatball. Keep in mind, this isn’t a spot for picky eaters who aren’t open to trying new and unique flavors! We are definitely looking forward to returning in the summer when the windows are open.

Maybe I ordered the wrong things, but didn't LOVE anything, the food was good to decent but definitely not mind blowing to any extent.I would say the serving sizes are a little small compared to the price you are being charged (I know this is a higher end spot, but still)The drinks were decent, nothing to rave about. I think the experience was certainly very good, loved the open kitchen concept and the atmosphere was lively for a off season Thursday night.A good not great spot.

The location was gorgeous. We did shared plates and thus got to experience so many amazing dishes and flavors. The wine recommendations by India were perfection. The decaf cappuccino with dessert was the icing on the cake. Highly recommend.

My friends and I had such a wonderful time at Giusto's this past weekend! Not only was every dish so thoughtfully prepared and delicious, but our server, Indya, was so fantastic. She made our night so fun and special. Thank you to all the staff for letting us stay long after we should have. I highly recommend!
